Teaching Kids to
Teach Robots
Children ages 6–12 learn computational thinking + problem solving by building and programming exclusively with LEGO® Education robots.
WHY DAEDALOS ACADEMY?
👩💻 Women-led
🏡 Family-Owned
📍 Local Since 2014
🧱 LEGO® Education Exclusive
Daedalos is a boutique Vancouver robotics academy started and based in the BC Lower Mainland. We keep our groups small, work exclusively with LEGO® Education robot kits, and keep a 6-1 student to teacher ration in every class. Your child gets a tailored learning experience that has new challenges, games and missions every week.
✨ Our Unique Robotics Training Program — How It Works
1. Teamwork
Students get into teams with a laptop and robotics kit, then plan out and talk through what the robot will do.
2. Build & Code
Kids build their robots and take turns coding basic movements, based on the unique robotics challenges for the lesson.
3. Robot Runs
Kids go through iterative trial and error practice runs with their robot to perfect the code and enhance the design of the robot to complete the challenge.
4. Iterate and Improve
Kids get progressively more difficult challenges to improve their coding and design skills, all while having fun in friendly competition with other teams.

What our parents say about us
“The instructors help kids work out why the robot isn’t doing what it needs to — without telling them what to do.”
“Beats anything I have found in the Lower Mainland. Their team-based approach helps kids use their intellect and creativity.”
“My son has fun but he is also being challenged to think and create ways to overcome obstacles. So relevant to life!”
“My son does not want to go to any other Lego or robotics program. He never gets tired of it and loves building and programming to meet the various challenges.”
“Daedalos Academy organizers run a brilliant program. It is so cool. Every term has a new theme and you get to build and program whatever you think will work..””
“Creative, enthusiastic team who inspire the children to meet the building and programming challenges. They are very well-organized and clearly love what they do.”
